NOTE. 



Dr. E. D. V. Oort, keeper of the „Rijlcs Museum van Natuurlijke 

 Historie", Leiden, was so kind to inform us, that there are indeed 

 several birds, which, hatching in the temperate regions of N.-E.-Asia, 

 China and Japan, migrate southward in winter and then may be observed 

 on the Sunda-isl., the Molucca-isl., New-Guinea and even AustraUa. 

 According to Dr. v. Oort distinct routes of niigration seem to pass 

 Malacca and the Philippines, directed southward, and among the migratory 

 ' birds there are several drupe-eating ones {e.g. thrushes). The one and 

 the other seem to ^gree pretty much with our observations.
